On October 5th, our Junior High and High School students will take the Healthy Kids Colorado Survey (HKCS), an important survey about student health. The survey asks students about health topics, including unintentional injuries and violence, mental health, school safety, substance use, physical activity and nutrition, sexual behavior (optional), and risk and protective factors.
The survey results will help your school, community groups, and state health agencies to plan programs and services for youth.

JH HECTOR of the Month for August!
Mrs. Lockhart, the Junior High and High School Comprehensive Health Educator, has completed a course on BOTVIN Life Skills with an emphasis on Drug Prevention. This training was supported by the Bent County Extension Office and the Tri-County Communities that Care through Otero County. We are proud of Mrs. Lockhart's commitment to learning for the benefit of the student's future health outcomes. Be sure and give Mrs. Lockhart a big thank you when you see her. This curriculum was selected through research funded by the Colorado Trust Grant for Substance Abuse Prevention and Intervention Program, managed by Mrs. Bucholz, the Health and Wellness Coordinator and Health Grant writer. Parents and Community can join us in our drug prevention measures during the Red Ribbon Week of October 23rd to October 26th during a few special activities.
